THE ORCHARDS OF UrAu.

The same causes which give excel
ience 10 the grains and vegetables Of
Utah also stamp her orchard products
with high cast. Fresh fruits are ex-
ported in considerable Quantities, and
wherever sent take the highest place
and commands the readiest sale. In
general terms, the superior character
lstics are hrmness, beauty, and, above
all fine flavor. The general fruit crop
OF Utah last year was good for quality
but far below the average for quantity.
In the southern part of the Territory
figs, pomegranates, grapes, and nearly
all the fruits that grow II seIni-tropi-
Cal climate thrive to perfection, but.too
far from the railroads to be marketed.
PsacaeS-Utah peaches are shipped,
wrapped and unTrapped, IN boxes Of
ao-ut twenty pounds each, ana find a
ready market in adjoining States and
Territories. Our peach trees thrive
best on the light loan and gravelly
soil. II planted on clay, except as a

AppteS-Thls fruit is now generally
acknowledged to be more free from

4 What is the monthly pay roll?
S How many hands were employed
when shops went first into operation?
e. Is there much benefit derived
by your city from those shops, and
have they added much to your popu

7. Are they simply repair shops or
do they also manufacture new cars?
We will be thankful for any other
points you can enlighten us upon con
cerning this subject.

interest to fonia by adding to our

wealth and prosperity Of our city. |
consider them very valuable citizens.
7 The shops do very little new
work, not being adapted to do it as
cheaply as it can be done by the
larger car shops of our large cities.

the best, very best institutions that
any town can secure. Their employees

lnSSe are the simple IaCtS IN The
case, and it does not seem possible
that there is business man in the
city SO lost to all sense of what is de
manded to make Owosso what she
ought to be, and can be, as TO vote
against this proposition. A tax OF
less than I2 per cent on the present
assessed valuation will secure the
shops, and such a tax spread over a
short series of years any man in the
city can pay and never know that his
tax is increased by reason of this sum
being collected. And as matter of
fact, it cannot be doubted that the
additions to the tax roll which will be
secured in less than five years by the
location of these shops will pay the
entire amount, and for all future time
reduce the present city taxation very
decidedly. AS a matter of economy
in expenditures, as sure step in tine
effort to build up the business pros
perity of the city, and to make Owos-
so one OF the largest inland cities in
the State, there is, in our opinion, no
one thing which will cost so little
and accomplish SO much as the secur
ing of these shops. Then let our
people be up and doing and secure
for this proposition prac tically
unanimous vote.
or. this proposition the Detroit
Free Press, of Wednesday, says in its
State department that, "l'he propo-
sition of the Toledo, Ann Arbor &
North Michigan Railway to locate
their shops at and make Owosso the
headquarters of their road, providing
the city would assist them $4,000
worth, was Monday night approved
by the Owosso Common Council and
special election called for August
az. The Business Mems Association,
which numbers seventy members are
working hard for the enterprise apd
the citizens are very jubilant over
the matter and expect to carry 1t by
large majority. Forty acres of land
has already been donated by individ-
uals owning property along the river
front where the company wish to To-
cate them. The Muskegon branch
of the road, which is now under con-
struction and also the main line will
be operated from Owosso. The
company will employ, to start with,
100 men in the shops. All train men
will also be located at Owosso. This
means to Owosso an addition of I 900
within the next year.
Never before in the history of Owos-
SOS prosperity has there been SO
much unity of feeling among all as
there is over the proposed donation to
the new road" And in this there is
no overdrawn statement, but it states
facts that our voters should heed.
The real fact is this Is Owosso's
chance, and that such chance comes
bit onee in. the career of any city,
men of Owosso improve it.
